Shot Clock Responsibility
It should be a primary responsibility of the Trail official to be aware of the shot clock. The Trail should try to look at the shot clock occasionally during the entire offensive possession, especially as the possession continues for an extended period of time. This will allow the official to be prepared to rule on a possible violation, incorrect reset or the horn goes off during or before a shot is taken. It would be efficient game management if the lead also makes themself aware of the shot clock during a possession.
